WorkWorkAt Japanese museums, art and nature merge - WSJ Odawara, Japan: You walk along a level daylight-filled corridor, some 300 feet long, one side lined with glass, the other with volcanic stones pockmarked by fossilized insects. Nearing the end, as trees and plantings fall away, you reach a balcony overlooking the mists of Sagami Bay. The passage has led from stone gardens toward water and cloud, from solid ground to a perch cantilevered in space. And it is aligned so that, at the dawn of the summer solstice, the sun shines directly through the passage; you walk into light.
WorkElon Musk?s midlife crisis over populating Mars - WSJ At age 53, Musk is not yet an old man. But the clock is ticking on his stated goal of reaching Mars and building a city there in his lifetime or, at least, his working lifetime.

WorkWorkStudents Paid Thousands for a Caltech Boot Camp. Caltech Didn't Teach It.Caltech, a private university in Pasadena, Calif., is a highly selective school, but some of its online programs make it merely part of the crowd. Colleges across the country are routinely offering online, nondegree-granting programs that they tout as avenues to offer more educational opportunities to broader audiences. But the programs are largely unregulated and may not feature university faculty members or their curriculums. WorkVance Criticizes Ukraine's President a Day After His Meeting With TrumpMr. Vance has been a vocal opponent of American aid to Ukraine. Mr. Zelensky called Mr. Vance “too radical,” in a recent interview in The New Yorker for making remarks he saw as suggesting that Ukraine give up territory in exchange for a peace deal with Russia. That prompted Mr. Vance to hit back from the campaign trail in Michigan on Wednesday, saying, “I don’t appreciate Zelensky coming to this country and telling the American taxpayer what they ought to do.” WorkA Grieving Mother. A Famous Uncle. An Unlikely Crusade.“We thought as a family that someone ought to challenge Richard Neal,” her local congressman, Ms. Milleron told the small crowd outside Roberto’s Pizza in Sheffield, Mass. “I’m a lawyer, I’ve passed legislation, I’ve been effective.” She urged her supporters to donate to her campaign. WorkWhy the World's Biggest Powers Can't Stop a Middle East WarFor many years, the United States was the only country that could bring constructive pressure to bear on both Israel and Arab states. It engineered the 1978 Camp David Accords that brought peace between Israel and Egypt, and the Israel-Jordan peace of 1994. Just over three decades ago, Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin of Israel and Yasir Arafat, the chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization, shook hands on the White House lawn in the name of peace, only for the fragile hope of that embrace to erode steadily. WorkWorkSix days of horror: America's thirst for executions returns with a vengeanceThat leaves Bryan Stevenson fearful for the future. He said: "When people are executed even when the prosecutor says they are likely innocent, when others are subjected to torturous multiple executions, when the death penalty continues to be so skewed by race - then you know that the integrity of the United States, its moral quotient, is in question." WorkNewsom Vetoes Bill Requiring Cars to Warn Speeding DriversThe California bill would have mandated that, beginning with model year 2030, all new passenger vehicles, trucks and buses in California would have to include technology that emits visual and audio signals that notify drivers when they have exceeded the posted speed limit. Emergency vehicles and motorcycles would have been exempt, as would vehicles without GPS or a front-facing camera. WorkWhat We Know About Hurricane Helene's Destruction So FarA record-high storm surge inundated the Tampa Bay region, including in areas that had rarely, or never, seen flooding. After facing several hurricanes in recent years, some residents in the region were left wondering whether it’s worth living there. WorkFive Court Cases to Watch Ahead of Election DayThis cycle, Republicans have filed more than 20 lawsuits related to mail voting, often seeking to have thrown out any mail ballot that does not strictly meet all of the requirements in state law, and seeking to eliminate any opportunities for voters to fix an error with mail ballots. WorkDonald Trump and His Real-Life ApprenticeMr. Vance’s role in this relationship will be on display Tuesday when he meets Mr. Walz for the only scheduled vice-presidential debate of the year — and the stakes couldn’t be higher. It will likely be the largest single audience Mr. Vance will address this campaign, and yet, for him, only one spectator will truly matter. WorkWorkEastern Tennessee Officials Brace Residents for 'Life Lost' After HeleneHe said he and his family were evaluating how many trucks, tractors, pumps and other farm equipment they had lost, as well as how much of the farmland was flooded, but that he was most worried about his constituents who had lost homes. He said he was holding out hope that those missing would be found. WorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkBeneath the Potential Strike at U.S. Ports: Tensions Over InnovationDock workers make no apologies for the wages they command — more than $200,000 a year in many cases, after factoring in overtime. They perform the dangerous and physically exhausting job of moving shipping containers on and off vessels, while keeping businesses and consumers stocked with goods. WorkWhy Stellantis, Owner of Chrysler, Jeep and Ram, Is StrugglingIn 2021, PSA merged with Fiat Chrysler, and the combined company adopted the name Stellantis. While the company is based in Amsterdam, its U.S. operations accounted for more than half of Stellantis’s profit in the first six months of 2024, meaning that problems here reverberate across the Atlantic. And the problems are deep, analyst say. WorkTolerating the Office When It Feels Like High SchoolIs this sticker inappropriate to display as a manager? If someone is offended by this sticker and reports me to the higher-ups, should I then take it down immediately or should I push back and make the case to keep it as a totem of safety to the young women I work with? WorkSilicon Valley Renegades Pollute the Sky to Save the PlanetIt’s a gutsy undertaking, yet it has at least a partial grounding in science. For 50 years, climate scientists have suggested that releasing aerosols into the stratosphere could act as a buffer and reduce the heat from the sun. Volcanic eruptions have temporarily cooled the planet this way in the past, but no one has attempted to intentionally replicate the effect at scale. WorkWorkIran Projects Caution After Israeli Strikes Against HezbollahMr. Khamenei struck much the same tone in public. Instead of lashing out at Israel, he issued two restrained statements, praising Mr. Nasrallah as a leading figure in the Muslim world and the so-called axis of resistance, and saying that Iran would stand by Hezbollah. WorkSean Combs's White Parties Were Edgy, A-List Affairs. Were They More?Indeed, a recent lawsuit claims misdeeds occurred at those events, too: In July, Adria English, who was hired by Mr. Combs to work a series of White Parties in the mid-to-late 2000s, sued him, asserting she was plied with drugs and ecstasy-laced liquor at the events, and commanded to have sex with certain guests, making her into “a sexual pawn.” Jonathan Davis, a lawyer for Mr. Combs, denied in July that his client had ever “sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone.” WorkPartying With Sean Combs: Old Stories Gain New Life“They don’t want me to throw the parties no more, but we ain’t going to stop, we going to keep on having fun, bringing people together from all walks of life,” he continued. “You’re going to hear about my parties, they’re going to be shutting them down, they going to probably be arresting me, doing all types of crazy things just because we want to have a good time. Whenever you bring up a different element into people’s environment, things that broaden people’s horizons, people get intimidated.” WorkWorkWorkWorkOpinion | Why I Write My Own Obituary Every YearSome years are short and perfunctory; some swell with joy and hope, pride even. There is a comfort in the accumulation, like the stacking of blocks — daughter, wife, mother of one, mother of two. And owning up to the unstacking, too, such as divorces, difficult moves, disruptions and the deaths of others in your life. WorkWorkAs Austrians Vote, Far Right Awaits Its Biggest SuccessUnlike in neighboring Germany, where the growing popularity of the far-right Alternative for Germany, or AfD, has set off anxious hand-wringing in the political establishment, in Austria few seem especially concerned by the rise of the Freedom Party.
